You can construct a cone by projecting any feature onto a plane. If the projected input feature is not a cone, PC-DMIS uses default values for the included angle and two axis lengths. The first length is the distance between the vertex and the first circle. The second length is the distance between the two circles. If there is only one input, the projection is to the current workplane.
To construct a Projected Cone:
Open the Construct Cone dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Cone).
From the Method list, select the Projection option.
From the Feature list, select either one or two features. If you only select one feature, the feature can be of any type. If you select two features, the first feature can be of any type, but the second feature must be a plane.
Select the In or Out option. For details, see the "In / Out Cone" topic in this documentation.
If you want to change the feature theoretical values, select the Feature theoreticals check box and type in the values. For details, see the "Specifying Feature Theoreticals" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
Click the Create button.
